2. When frying dried peppers, fry the peppers so that the fragrance of pepper seeds can also penetrate into the oil. When the pepper is fried until it becomes discolored, turn off the fire and take it out. If you continue to fry, the taste will be bitter;

3. In the process of cooking, white vinegar will volatilize a lot because of heating. Finally, 5g white vinegar or rice vinegar should be added to supplement the sour taste, while white sugar can neutralize the sour taste and spicy taste.
